Upcoming Free Agents, Arbitration Cases

Hey everyone,

Lets just start out with a look at some Brewers contract issues.

Players that are now entering free agency are:
CF Mike Cameron
OF Frank Catalanotto
INF Craig Counsell
C Jason Kendall
OF Corey Patterson
2B Felipe Lopez

Options:
SP Braden Looper-$6.5m mutual (both sides must exercise) $1m buyout
RP David Weathers-$3.7m club option $400k buyout

Arbitration Eligible Players:
SP Dave Bush
RP Todd Coffey
OF Jody Gerut
SS J.J. Hardy
RF Corey Hart
RHP Seth McClung
C Mike Rivera (first time)*
RHP Carlos Villanueva (first time)*
2B Rickie Weeks
* first time arbitration eligible players are most likely to see a large salary increase.

I want to go through and list salaries, then give some ideas about what kind of numbers we might see for the arbitration guys, and some ideas for the free agents/options we have. Hopefully I can get to that later today.

Chilly outside, baseball warms my heart. Brew up.
